Comedy SILVER out of Calgary

[puckhead]

Wait, I thought Schneider was an average-at-best career back-up



I am curious to see how Jankowski plays. He was sooooo far off of the board on that draft

Jonathan Quick would be a lot of guys' backups going by that split - tied for 15th on that list.

I think if Jankowski gets off to a good start in the A he could be up playing third line C on the Flames before long.

The reviews on Janko have been quite good thus far, some think he is ready for the NHL, but he will likely spend some time in the AHL to develop his offensive game. If he can develop into a Stephane Yelle or Mikael Backlund type of player, well that would be just fine in my opinion.

Rosters for tonight's game in Calgary:

 

[puckhead]

I knew it would either be Tkachuk or Shinkaruk with the GWG.
Completely forgot Higgins signed a PTO over there.


only saw the 3rd period, but from the good guys side I liked Rendulic.
Rodin had a good nose for offense, too. His finish was still off though. If that clicks, he can be a dangerous player.

Elliott looking damn good in his Flames gear...

Kevin Paul Dupont stirring things up...

 

[esls79]

All red gear so he can blend in when the red light is going off behind him?

longtime hockey pal = newfangled term for unnamed source?


Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

I just don't see how Calgary possibly lines up a fair trade for him, even less so with those two teams.

Then again, Brian Burke.

The Flames will sign Gaudreau and I predict he'll be in the opening night lineup against the Oil.

/If he's not signed by then, I'll eat quoi's hat.

 

[dash]

Flames trim their roster by 8 players, Higgins has survived the latest round of cuts.

/Not sure I like that development.

Brad Marchand's value has never been higher.

Man, that would certainly ratchet up Flames - Canucks games.

/But no thanks

Hey, check out that 4th line for the Flames tonight, that's two former Medicine Hat Tigers on that line (lol):

Pat Steinberg ‏@Fan960Steinberg

Projected #Flames lines tonight: Tkachuk-Bennett-Brouwer; Higgins-Backlund-Frolik; Bouma-Stajan-Chiasson; Shinkaruk-Vey-Ferland

Pat Steinberg ‏@Fan960Steinberg

Projected #Flames on D tonight: Giordano-Hamilton; Brodie-Jokipakka; Engelland-Grossmann. Elliott starts in net.

et tu dash?

Meh, not worried - Reports are that Treliving is flying to New York today (might already be there) to talk to Lewis Gross to hammer out a deal. It will get done and Johnny will be in the opening night lineup.

Your PK would be stronger. And get gets the odd goal streak. But there has to be better youth

 

[dash]

Sounds like Matthew Tkachuk will start the season with the Flames - I'm sure he'll get his 9 NHL games before a decision has to be made.

 

[dash]

Flames have released Korpikoski from his PTO - Higgins is still around (as is Grossmann).

/That's gross, man.
